Australian researchers have uncovered how a 'milk' protein enables survival of the species. A research team from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia, have discovered the protein MCL-1 is critical for keeping milk-producing cells alive and sustaining milk production in the breast. Without milk production, offspring cannot survive, making MCL-1 essential for survival of mammalian species. The research was led by professor Geoff Lindeman, professor Jane Visvader and Dr. Nai Yang Fu (left-right) from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia.
